You know, there are people who falsely accuse other people of rape. It happens. And it is awful and should be punished. But it is such a miniscule minority compared to the actual number of SA cases. "Women put forward false rape accusations" falls under the same category as "easy access to abortion will lead to women treating abortion as a form of birth control" or "people will exploit social security because they are lazy and don't want to work".
Like, do they really think that happens all the time? One in three women puts forward false rape accusations, just like one in three women is actually SA'ed? Dude at work annoys me so much I'll just call him a rapist and get him fired. And sure, I'll just get a abortion every month instead of using a condom because an abortion is just sooo much more convenient. But sometimes I'm, like, keeping the pregnancy until its last month just to fuck with the doctors and demand an abortion two weeks before the due date, just for funsies. And man, have you ever lived off of social security? That's so amazing bro, I much prefer being not able to afford anything but crackers and teabags and choosing between whether to feed myself or my children, that's like a lottery, so much fun, so much better than a job!
These cases exist. I'm sure there are psychopaths who do that. But focusing on them is such a disservice to millions of people who actually suffer. It glimpses over the reality to portray some absurd extreme cases.
